Deeley family linked to Healeys

17 May 2013

This weekend is personally special for me as the annual All-British Field Meet sets up Saturday at VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver.

Austin Healey, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, is the featured marque.

As some readers may know, my father Don Hutchins bought a new Austin Healey in the early '60s, and upon hearing the 1966 model would be the last, ordered one of those, too. Thecar arrived shortly before my baby brother Jeff, and we kept them both. READ ON

Harley-Davidson Roars Into Cinco De Mayo to Unite Hispanic Independents During the Iconic Company's 110th Anniversary

Harlistas Celebrate their Achievement of the American Dream, Making Harley-Davidson the Best-selling Motorcycle among Latinos in 2012 and Cheering on UFC's Top Latino Fighters

PR Newswire

MILWAUKEE, May 2, 2013

MILWAUKEE, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout 2013, millions of Harley-Davidson fans around the world are celebrating their shared passion for freedom, self-expression, adventure, and the stories that unite them during Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary year. This Cinco de Mayo, thousands of Harlistas are gearing up for official 110th Anniversary celebrations by taking to the open road, seeking adventure, camaraderie and the achievement of the American Dream.

Latino Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders have been proudly calling themselves Harlistas for more than 50 years. The wordHarlista has deep historic and cultural roots, originating among Latino motorcycle riders to proclaim their strong passion for Harley-Davidson and the bonds shared between fellow riders. Being a Harlista is about overcoming obstacles, grabbing life by the handlebars and experiencing the camaraderie of the open road.

This shared passion has made Harley-Davidson the number one seller of new on-street motorcycles (all displacements) among Hispanics in the U.S. in 2012, the 5th straight year that Harley has achieved this distinction. In addition, nearly half of all new street motorcycles purchased in 2012 by Latinos age 35+ in the U.S. were from Harley-Davidson.

"For Harlistas, it's about achieving the American Dream, and owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a powerful symbol of that achievement," said Roger Garcia, Director of Hispanic Marketing Outreach at Harley-Davidson. "We're thrilled that Harley-Davidson can fulfill this dream for so many Harlistas."

Harley-Davidson's commitment to Latinos includes the company's sponsorship of the Ultimate Fighting Championship®(UFC), whose fans include many U.S. Latinos. The world's most famous motorcycle maker is a core sponsor of the UFC, and Latino standouts Cain Velasquez and Kelvin Gastelum are proud Harlistas.

Two-time and current UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez is a Mexican-American who rides a Harley-Davidson 2013 Road Glide® Custom, which he takes on road trips around his Bay Area home when he's not in training.

A Harlista was born when Kelvin Gastelum, son of Mexican immigrants, won the most recent The Ultimate Fighter® reality show, winning a split division as a middleweight. He came away with a UFC contract, but most impressively, a brand new Harley-Davidson 2013 Softail® Fat Boy®.

The dedication and pride of Harlistas like Velasquez and Gastelum will be featured through exclusive content on Harley-Davidson's Harlistas website, an online community where Latino Harley-Davidson riders can share their personal stories, photos and videos of their life on the open road.
